Create Interactive Reports with .NET Report Designers

The Telerik Report Designer for Visual Studio is specially created for developers that prefer VS for report authoring. It works with .NET type report definitions (.CS or .VB files).

You can add and edit charts, tables and groups, fill them with data, calculate values, style, preview, share and export the ready reports. Report designer canvas simulates graph paper and represents the actual layout of the report elements as they would appear on a printed sheet of paper. It contains grid-lines, item snapping for perfect positioning, on-canvas item dimensions and pixel-perfect rendering.

You can localize the report using Visual Studio report designer.
Reports stored in a class library and are embedded and distributed in .NET or touch-enabled mobile applications.

The Standalone desktop report designer, featuring an easy to use environment, is the heart of Telerik Reporting. It enables both developers and users to create, design, edit, preview, save, export and print ad-hoc reports seamlessly and without any code.

You can start from scratch with easy drag and drop design or use the huge library with predefined templates and many right-click menus for quick access to frequently used dialog boxes and commands.

Standalone report designer can be localized to display reports in the language of a specific region. The designer supports setting up the report for accessibility.

Web Report Designer, featuring an easy to use environment, is one of the latest gems of Telerik Reporting. It has fine-graded drag-and-drop functionality to layout and re-parent all items and sections. It has a toolbox to add a new item instance of all supported types. It has a Report Explorer pane that gives a great view of the report structure, plus it now incorporates the Data Source components into it. And finally, you have a well thought out Properties pane that is much more user-friendly than the one from the Visual Studio IDE that we are all accustomed to. Once done with the necessary edits, you can examine the rendered report using the built-in report preview functionality. That said, this designer is already capable of basic edits made by the end users, which is one of their most common requirements.  

In 2020, we will continue the development of the newly released Web Report Designer in Telerik Reporting.
